Parse the values into multiple columns

1

Greetings,

I want a query to parse the tagvalue columns by "/" separator to multiple columns depending on the number of time the separator "/" exists in the tagvalue column and there is no limit of the values.

id  tagvalue
--- ---------  
1   asto/cand?/questions
2   bog/col1/col2.com/col3./col4


Expected output

id   tagvalue1 tagvalue2  tagvalue3  tagvalue4 tagvalue6
---  --------- ---------  ---------   --------  --------
1      asto    cand?       questions   null      Null
2       bog    col1        col2.com     col3.    col4

Thanks for your help in advance !!
